1.4 W1D2: Needs and Forces Behind Marketing Introduction By now, you should have reviewed this week’s required reading materials and have an understanding of the important concepts. You will now take part in this discussion. Instructions Respond to these questions: Marketing has often been defined in terms of satisfying customers’ needs and wants. Critics, however, maintain that marketing goes beyond that and creates needs and wants that did not exist before. They feel marketers encourage consumers to spend more money than they should on goods and services they do not really need. Do you think marketing can create or satisfy needs? Consider the four key forces driving the new marketing realities. How are they likely to change in the future? What other major trends or forces might affect marketing? Directions Select "Create Thread" to generate your own post. You also need to comment on at least of two of your classmates' posts/threads. Keep your messages original, intelligible, concise, and effective within 250-300 words per post.   Your posts will be evaluated on both the quantity and quality of your contributions, the quality being more important than the length of each post. Respond to two of your fellow students' remarks on other threads. Your responses (at least of 150 words) should be thoughtful, challenging examples or materials supporting your argument. Note that responses such as "I agree" or "That’s a great point" do not count towards discussion thread participation points.  Consider quality tips. Did you: Help solve a problem or lend support? Challenge an idea or offer some alternatives? Come up with a creative solution or ask good questions? Assist someone in clarifying his or her ideas or give examples from your personal experience?

Hello, the task is to write a discussion and do a quiz for module 14 from MKT-610 course

Background Consumer behavior research can be very expensive and time consuming. How do companies decide/justify spending money on research? Many large companies that regularly conduct research begin with a very small exploratory project that is often done with the expertise that is already staffed in the Marketing Department. Once this is done and if it's found you need a national sample then, you can pitch the CFO for the money needed to go forward. You have been put in the position of conducting the exploratory research to find if you need to hire an expensive outside Consumer Behavior Research firm to take the research to the next level. You have been assigned a brand/product item for your first consumer behavior research project (Document attached). Complete sections one and three based on secondary data collected through outside research. Cover Slide: Include name of student, Professor and the brand that is being covered. (Slide 1) Section 1: Background A) Give some introductory information about your product/brand. Include the current status of the four P's. Not needed is historic information (company beginnings, etc.). Only current data is needed here.  (This should be covered in slides 2-5, one slide for each area of the Market Mix)          B) Research and discuss the brands target market: demographics (slide 6) also include the geographics, psychographics and any behavior-based segmenting variables (label them by base) (slide 7) typical decision-making aspects (How would the target go through the Consumer Decision Process?  Where in the Consumer Decision Process does there seem to be issues?) (slide 8) identify one market segment that you will discuss as a target market using segmenting variables discussed above. (slide 9) Section 2: Consumer Influences Identify and analyze three of the most relevant aspects of consumer influences that are relevant when marketing this brand. Provide reasoning why you believe the influence is relevant. (Each Consumer Influence should be it's own slide 10-12) Examples of what might be included: Attitude Perception Learning/Memory/Consumer Information Processing Motivation Emotion Personality External Influences: family culture social class reference groups situation generation any other external influences. Section 3: Marketing Strategy (Identify current issues that may need consumer behavior research).  Outline at least SIX questions for each of the three Consumer Influences (from SECTION 2) relating to the brand being explored (relating directly to Consumer Behavior internal and or external factors). Each group of questions must have at least 6 closed-ended questions which explore the dimension in detail.  For each question, give an explanation as to why it needs to be asked.  State the question and then give the reasoning. Be sure to organize by paragraph.  DO NOT question using marketing terms or concepts (ex. What are your perceptions of the brand?).  Qualifying questions (demographic or otherwise) are not included in the required number but you can ask these to get the correct sample for your survey.    (Slides 13-18) Examples of areas that pair nicely with the Consumer Influences include: advertising consumer decision process (be specific which stage) public relations and publicity sponsorship cross promotion product distribution (specific retailer, shelving, etc.) product placement alternative media pricing sales activities customer service packaging brand name, brand images, brand personality figures or celebrity endorsers  Section 4: Present and Survey Respondents A) Complete a Consumer Behavior Survey with at least 20 questions using the questions created in Section 3.  The breakdown of the questions should be 18 closed-ended questions and 2 open-ended questions.  Be sure that the closed-ended questions are numerically scaled questions (horizontal scales presented, adjectives are numerically represented and the presentation is horizontal for the scale offering the + choices from left to right.  Here is an example: The taste of Coca-Cola is important when choosing this brand to purchase: Very Likely +3  +2  +1  0 -1  -2  -3  Not Very Likely B) Collect survey results from at least 10 respondents that would be a part of the main target segment discussed in section 1.  In this section, tell how you implemented the instrument (survey) whether is be in person (paper), internet or social media (which one).  Also comment on how the subjects were recruited to take the survey.  Did you offer any incentive?  Were there difficulties in doing this?    What was your response rate (number of surveys mailed/posted vs. what was turned in or taken, if applicable). (Slide 19 and 20 should represent a copy of the finished look of the survey, the one that was given to the respondents) Section 5: Analyze Finding/Conclusion Analyze your findings from the survey, including a minimum of one table. Discuss how your findings (even though they are from a very small sample) could be the basis for a larger research project to be conducted by the brand. A copy of the survey itself and your resulting data must be included in your presentation (results can be in table form). Last, make your recommendation if there needs to be a larger study conducted or not (and why). Identify and recommend which type of research approach should be done (Positivist or Interpretivist) and why.

PROJECT SCOPE: This project will examine your ability to understand the implications of our take-make-waste society’s habits and how we can move forward to an improved circular economy approach. Using our class discussions and projects as frameworks, you will be journaling what you have learned, what you can change about your own practices, what brands could do differently, and any other insights via text entries, images, and video entries. You will be graded on the quality of your insights, how visually appealing/creative your journal site is, further research and sources that you find on the course topics, and how they relate to fashion and / or beauty
